Revision as of 11:55, 12 August 2008

"Fail safely" gets redirected to a page with the heading "Fail Securely" (but
still named "Fail_safely"). It seems someone thought "Fail Securely" is a better
phrase for the principle than "Fail safely", but the change needs to be propagated
to this page (and possibly on other pages).

I'd fix it myself but there is no page named "Fail_securely" and I don't want
to make a mess of things for others -- I'm just visiting this site for the
first time and don't have a feel yet for how it's being setup and maintained -
I don't want to ruffle any feathers, but am trying to help...

Thanks Chris - I updated the main principle page to list "Fail Securely"
instead of "Fail Safely." There is a page called
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Fail_securely. MediaWiki
leaves behind any pages that are renamed with a redirect
to the new page, so that any old links get to the right place.
